Process Engineer II || SPC + Batch Mfg || West Haven CT

A publicly traded specialty electronics materials company is standing up a medium-scale manufacturing site in West Haven, CT for a first-to-market copper-based platform headed into AI infrastructure and advanced semiconductor packaging. They need a Process Engineer II to own SPC, drive corrective action, and help define what good looks like on a product that has never been manufactured at this scale before.

Pave Talent is hiring on behalf of our client, a NYSE-listed specialty electronics materials company scaling a first-to-market nano-copper platform from R&D to commercial production. With approximately $150 million authorized for the scale-up across multiple U.S. sites, this is one of the most significant build-outs in the company's recent history. West Haven is the medium-scale manufacturing site in that network.

You'll join the West Haven process engineering team as the site stands up manufacturing operations for a copper-based chemical platform targeting AI chip packaging, 5G infrastructure, and power electronics. This is not a role where you inherit a mature process. The yield curve is still being drawn and the SPC baselines you build will be the reference standard for years.

You will report into the site engineering leadership and work closely with production, maintenance, and EHS daily.
